Due to the room I have I am going to have to make it a little shorter then official size. I am going 70 x 30. :-[ But I figure it has to be better then a door as my table. And I have never heard of "Beer-Pong" as Beruit but thats a nice fun fact. But it will not be a fold away because of everything that i will have going on with this table. Put I have gotten some PVC pipe from the store and I am starting to find out how to make the auto ball cleaner. I think I am going to make it right beside the cups on either side so I will still have room to play beer ball. :lol

One major flaw in my auto ball cleaner. I will be drilling holes into the the table top about 1 1/2" to go down into a pipe about 1 1/4" to fit the ball. The ball will go down one side and come out the other side after going through water while under the table top. The problem is going to be having enough air pressure for the ball to go down through the water and up the next side. I am trying to make it as quiet as possible i was thinking of using some computer fans but I don't think that will give me enough pressure to get through the water and back up. Thank you.

There was a Mythbusters episode that raised a sunken boat by pumping ping pong balls under water. They used a funnel that swirled water to get the ping pong balls into the boat.

Here is my idea for the ball cleaner. My google sketchup isn't the best work but it should give you an idea of what I'm thinking about. The problem still is that I'm not able to move the ball down over and up. I just don't know what would be quiet and strong enough. I tried using a computer fan and hooking it up to a power supple just to see if it would be able to push the ball up. The way i tired was hooking it all up and then holding a glass over the top of it with the ping pong ball in it. :banghead:
